Factory-Reconditioned Bosch 1194AVSRK-RT 8.5 Amp 1/2-inch Hammer Drill

I have used this drill many times to drill up to 5/8" holes, 12" deep in concrete and have been very pleased with performance. Prior to this purchase, I used a standard VSR drill and it can take forever. The rotary hammer function makes it take less than a minute to do the job.

This drill outperforms all of my expectations. Half inch holes three inches deep in concrete in seconds - literally.
Light weight and very easy to handle. I don't use the depth gauge - just an old timer that likes the electrical tape method. Nice touch is the chuck key storage - right were you can get at it and it does not drop the key. Light, easy of use and power to spare.

Other than the fact that this hammer drill is stamped "reconditioned", you could not tell it from new. It is smooth running and powerful. Warantee is same as new. I just received the drill and have not actually used it to drill in anything yet. Just plugged it in and verified that all features (forward, reverse, drill, hammer etc.) work smoothly and as expected. Shipment was received quickly. Would definetely buy reconditioned from CPO Bosch again.

I like this drill as it is well built and heavy duty for an 8 amp drill. I use it as a drill and seldom use the hammerdrill option. If you want a medium duty hammerdrill then get 3 to 4 $100 bills out and shop away. A heavy duty hammerdrill is $400 or more. This is just a nice medium duty drill with an option for light use (non-commercial) as a hammerdrill. As a drill it is nice and does the job.

Used it for 10 minutes - got hotter than the dickens. Returned it for a Dewalt 505. Much better.
